  God bless lifting bro for A) Being the only one to offer a thing that could actually possibly be
  done. B) Offering advice that could in theory actually work.

  it is kinda funny though when people say to just be happy and get over it

  pretty much the equivalent of a rich person telling poor people to just have money and stop being
  poor

  Yep, I run into that constantly. My family found out I was depressed and told me it wasn't
  depression I was just lazy and needed to get over it and be happy with what I have and constantly
  shamed me for being lazy for years. I don't talk to my family anymore, except for my brothers,
  siblings got to stick together cause we grew up in the same household and had to put up with the
  same shit and if we can't be there for each other who will?

  I know talking to someone understanding and supportive doesn't cure depression but it can help
  and if any of you anon out there ever need somebody to talk to when you're stressed out or
  feeling down www.7cups.com can be a great place to not only talk to somebody but they have
  resources to help you find a therapist near you if you'd like and talking is free and anonymous.
  Talking to the people on there really helped me through some shit a year ago and I've recommended
  them to people in need of someone to talk to ever since.

  That last guy definitely has a point. When I started going to the gym regularly a few summers
  ago, I really did start to feel a lot better, both physically and mentally. Unfortunately, when I
  came to college I fell off the boat and haven't been going to the gym much at all. I really gotta
  find someone to work out with again, that makes it a lot easier to stick with it.

  "fucking bitches" doesn't typically fix existential depression any more than the pictures of
  kittens lady.

  Lifting weights is actually a really really good method to brighten up temporarily, when you
  lift, your body releases endorphines which makes you happy and give you a positive outlook on
  life, and I'm speaking out of my own experience

  Last one is pretty solid advice if you are not too poor/depressed to lift weights and get big.
  I'd do it if I had weights in my home but I do not. wage-slave living paycheck to paycheck. Too
  exhausted from social interaction and work to do the gym.

  Though desu, I do hate how the whole outlook on depression lately has been so enabling. Dumb
  amount of people will just say "herp derp I'm depressed" and use it as an excuse to be lazy and
  bitch about nothing.

  I'm hella depressed every day but if I stop working and stop finding ways to cope with it, I'll
  get deported and just be a depressed hobo in the US. I swear to glob, letting depression and
  laziness be synonymous with one another is only a luxury of the privileged.... but then again if
  I had the luxury to not work and just stew in my depression, I probably wouldn't be accomplishing
  any of my personal goals and I would probably not be finding ways to cope with my issues.

  So I guess being a poor outsourced American worker with no family has its perks?

  Here is the real deal from someone who has struggled with depression over many years
  Happiness IS a choice. Since all your negative thoughts and behaviors feed off of each other in
  an infinite sadness loop where your life won't improve, the only way to break out of it is to
  kick depression's ass
  You have to say fuck it, I am going to do happy shit like go for a bike ride or see friends
  because if you don't you are good and truly fucked. Your happiness isn't something that will just
  come naturally or fall from the sky, you have to get your ass out there and make it yourself. If
  that doesn't seem helpful then fuck you
  "you should be happy,"
  >thanks asshole
  "no really, that's the secret, just be happy in yourself,"
  >No I think I'd rather be depressed forever
  "ok then your loss,"
  Buddha said do not seek happiness outside of yourself. I think he meant material things don't
  make you happy but more than that, you could be an astronaut out in space completely isolated
  without anything to do, see or hear and you could choose to be happy. Or not. you are the master
  of your own destiny, good or bad
